News::Ten minutes of Hellraid in action

Techland are a busy bunch, aren't they? While they're not working on Dead Island's first sequel proper, they are working on the similarly themed (and quite grand looking) Dying Light, as well as producing the digital-only hack and slash fantasy game Hellraid. It originally started out as a mode for Dead Island (thanks Wikipedia!) but now is its own standalone game for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Beyond that I'll admit to being largely clueless, so Ian Higton's primer and interview with producer Marcin Kruczkiewicz came in quite handy. Oh, here it is right now!

News::The Games of The Fine Young Capitalists Project

Julie Morley writes: "We've covered The Fine Young Capitalists quite a bit here on Cliqist this past week, interviewing multiple people involved with the project, examining the project, and so on. TFYC have endured a week of controversy and drama surrounding their campaign, especially when their IndieGogo campaign was hacked and altered. However, they've recovered, and the campaign is well underway and on track to meeting its funding goal. The focus of The Fine Young Capitalists' projects are to promote equality in the work force and educate the public about it. Their current project concentrates on women in the gaming industry, especially in the lead positions. In an effort to get more girls interested in the field and comfortable with their ideas, they launched a project welcoming girls from all over to submit game ideas and the top five will be voted on to actually develop their game with the assistance of Columbia-based studio, Autobotika. These are the five games chosen to b...

News::The Walking Dead: Season 2 - Episode 5: No Going Back Review | WGTC

John from We Got This Covered wrote: Its been quite a journey for Clementine throughout all of The Walking Dead: Season Two, as weve watched her grow from the timid child we protected as Lee in the original game into a hardened survivor in this follow-up. Now, weve come to the conclusion of season two with the fifth episode, No Going Back. Given that Telltale Games gave us solid finales for both the original Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, expectations have been high for this last installment to deliver an impactful, memorable, and satisfying ending. Having been a big fan of the series since the beginning though, I have to say that I dont really get that.

News::You aren't at PAX? Let Max Scoville give you the tour

PAX Prime 2014 is winding down, but that doesn't mean those of us at home can't pretend like we are there, stalking Max Scoville as he roams the show floor. I was going to give a detailed play-by-play of the video here, but I have decided that just pasting the notes I took while watching will suffice. Hope you like animals!

• Andy, Hamza, Jordan, and community member Muddbstrd as Mr. Destructoid


• Max Scoville looking for animals


• Guy on elevator gets creeped out


• Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel oxygen bar


• "This is so stupid!"


• Blake


• Indie MEGABOOTH


• Somebody asks for Tara, but is so uninteresting that the video editor fast forwarded it


• Evolve monster crotch extreme closeup


• Max walks through a fart


• "Let's go look at Pikachu's asshole!"


• Paul who gets swag


• Woman who smiles knowingly about Max looking for a tank's asshole


• Laserzone

So there you have it! The experience of walking the show floor with Max Scoville, and you didn't even have to personally walk through a fart.

Non-playable characters have come a long way with their AI intelligence. As the gaming industry has expanded on everything, developers have been able to make characters seem more real over the years, however, a lot of times characters in games are missing something. NPCs are often copied and pasted from one another in most open world games. Not only that, but they tend to make in-game decisions that are totally idiotic. Its time for the AI in NPCs to be brought to the next level, not just intelligent, but humanized and having more character.
